Hi Changbin,
Since we are using added function `convert_unit_double` just in
stat-shadow.c,
I think there is no need to add it in units.h, we can directly create static
func inside `stat-shadow.c`itself.
Thanks,

The change looks good. And I think we should keep '/' otherwise it'd be
more confusing.

Sounds good.

should you remove also the leading '/' in ' /cpu-sec' ?

hum this will change -x output that people parse, so I don't think we can do
that

we have convert_unit function just above doing the same only with
unsigned long.. let's have one base function with double values and
another one casting the result to unsigned long

[PATCH] perf stat: improve readability of shadow stats
This does follow two changes:
1) Select appropriate unit between K/M/G.
2) Use 'cpu-sec' instead of 'sec' to state this is not the wall-time.
$ sudo ./perf stat -a -- sleep 1
Before: Unit 'M' is selected even the number is very small.
